This is really such a top summer recipe that I make over and over again. Everything gets nicely grilled in the Optigrill and the result is tacos full of flavors from the herbs, warm seafood, and a creamy avocado sauce. Perfect for sharing at the table, and ideal if you want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Making herb oil: Cut coriander, rosemary, thyme, and garlic finely and mix with olive oil and black pepper.
Preparing fish and seafood: Check for bones and trim if necessary. Mix all fish and seafood with the herb oil.
Grilling in the Optigrill: Use the baking accessory. Select 'fish' or 'shellfish' and first grill the white fish, then the scallops, and finally the squid. Mix everything together and keep warm.
Making creamy avocado sauce: Mash the avocado and mix with mascarpone, chili flakes, cumin, and salt. Taste and adjust if necessary.
Grilling and filling tacos: Open the Optigrill on barbecue mode and briefly grill the tacos on one side. Top each taco with avocado sauce, seafood mixture, and lettuce.

Tips

Make the herb oil a few hours in advance for more flavor.
Serve everything separately at the table so everyone can assemble their own taco – ideal for a summer dinner.
